I'm Really Not A Nen Exorcist (HxH Fanfic)

Chapter 720: Chapter 720 Attacking The Ant Nest



Hearing Kanzai's unexpected statement, everyone in the room couldn't help but look at him.

Morel shook his head slightly, thinking that no one would question Moses's abilities.

However, when it came to the matter at hand, the proposal to launch a premature assault was inherently flawed.

Knov lowered his gaze and said nothing.

In his opinion, as the initiator behind the plan, Netero would never agree to Moses's seemingly baseless proposal.

Therefore, after stating his opinion, he had no intention of continuing the discussion.

'Now, all we needed to do was wait for Chairman to reject Moses's proposal, and this little episode would be over.'

Just as Knov was thinking this, Netero's next words caused the finger resting on his glasses to twitch, nearly sending the glasses flying off his face.

"Hoho, then let's set the time for the full-scale assault... to today."

Netero raised his hand and stroked his beard, and ultimately accepted Moses's proposal.

Although he didn't understand the reason behind Moses' insistence on attacking early, his intuition pointed toward accepting Moses's suggestion.

"Chairman, are you serious?"

Knov's face changed and he looked at Netero in disbelief.

Morel also frowned and waited patiently for Netero's answer.

Netero chuckled but did not explain further. Instead, he nodded towards Knov to show that he was serious.

"Why?"

Knov felt that this decision made no sense.

"Intuition."

Netero's subsequent answer left Knov speechless.

Seeing that Netero had agreed to the proposal, Moses let out a sigh of relief.

With the nest's current military strength reduced to less than a third, and the addition of Kanzai and Bushidora, the chances of successfully attacking the nest were high.

While it might be difficult to deal with the three Royal Guards gathered together, but as long as they can successfully breach the ant nest, it will not be difficult to get rid of the Chimera Ant Queen.

Once the decision to launch the assault was made, the Chimera Ant extermination team didn't waste any time, and they immediately began their march toward the nest.

At this moment-

The Chimera Ants, including the Squadron Leaders, are all staying quietly in the ant nest.

Facing the hunting operation that lasted for half a month by Moses and Netero, the original thirty-plus Squadron Leader squads had been reduced to just nine...

Although the losses were devastating, Pouf and Pitou didn't care.

"Oh?"

Pouf, who was inside the nest, suddenly sensed something and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

Through the countless powder-like clones scattered around the nest, he detected the Chimera Ant extermination team heading straight for the nest.

It was only today that they had adopted the strategy of holding the fort...

Pouf had thought that these humans, who were intent on gradually encroach their forces, would patiently observe for a while longer.

But he hadn't expected them to suddenly become so eager to attack.

'What is the reason?'

'Never mind…'

'This development was actually easier to handle.'

'All we have to do is eliminate all the enemies trying to breach the nest.'

Thinking of this, Pouf first controlled some of his clones to find Youpi, who was stationed outside the nest, while his main body went to find Pitou.

On top of the ant nest…

Youpi sat there, with more than a dozen eyes on various parts of his body, constantly scanning the surroundings.

At this moment, a small cluster of pink crystal-like particles flew toward Youpi, and then merged together at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon form a miniature version of Pouf that was no larger than a thumbnail.

This is a clone that Pouf created using the power of the Beelzebub.

"Youpi, there are five enemies approaching from your front-left direction."

Pouf's clone informed Youpi of the movements of Moses and the others in a slightly high-pitched voice.

Upon hearing this, Youpi abruptly stood up, and his dozen compound eyes all turned toward the front-left direction. His strong red body exuded a terrifying Aura that was as solid as a substance and contained fierce killing intent.

The group rapidly moving through the forest immediately sensed the Aura emanating from the nest.

"Damn…"

Kanzai's expression changed.

Although he had learned from Moses and the others about the degree of threat posed by the Royal Guards before setting off, now that he was experiencing Youpi's Aura firsthand, he felt that this feeling could not be expressed in words alone.

However, having spent a year on the Dark Continent, Kanzai quickly calmed himself down.

In contrast, Bushidora, who was also an Enhancer, couldn't hide the fear in his heart.

"How can there be such an Aura..."

Bushidora had never encountered such an overwhelming and malicious Aura before. His fighting spirit was unprecedentedly shaken, and his steps, which should have been leading the charge, instinctively slowed down.

Moses and the others noticed Bushidora's change in mindset, but no one mocked him.

Because-

The terrifying Aura pouring down from above was indeed enough to overwhelm anyone.

Without sufficient mental preparation, it would be difficult to respond normally in a short time.

"That-"

Netero, who was at the front of the group, looked up toward the top of the nest and said slowly, "Leave it to me."

Judging solely by the intensity of Youpi's Aura, Netero was likely the only one in the group who could handle it.

After hearing Netero's words, no one objected.

On top of the nest.

Youpi could clearly feel the approach of the Chimera Ant extermination team, and he could no longer sit still.

Pouf's clone was hovering next to Youpi, using the vision of its numerous clones to monitor and lock onto the movements of the extermination team.

'Among the five humans, the most threatening... should be that old man, right?'

As his thoughts turned, Pouf's clone flew to Youpi's ear and said, "Youpi, don't let them get too close."

"Understood."

Youpi had already been itching to act.

This reaction might have been due to the magical beast genes in his body.

But more importantly-

It was because of the confrontational Aura emanating from Netero!

Just by 'sensing' Netero's presence, Youpi instinctively knew what he needed to do at this moment.

He couldn't let this Aura get too close to the nest!

Boom!

In an instant, Youpi's red body shot downward like an arrow, aiming straight for Netero, who was about to cross the 'warning line'.

But at this time-

A black arrow shot upward from below, narrowly passing by Youpi as it streaked toward the top of the nest.

This arrow was actually Moses's shadow arrow.

The timing of the shot had been carefully calculated, aimed at the opportunity created by Youpi's proactive attack.

"Huh?!"

Youpi was momentarily startled as he caught a glimpse of the black arrow that flashed by. Before he had time to think about what was going on, a blinding golden light filled his vision.

Bang!

The 100-Type Guanyin swung its hand like it was swatting a fly, slamming Youpi into the ground at high speed.

At the same time-

The shadow arrow embedded itself high on the outer wall of the nest.

Swoosh——

In the next moment, Moses used Shadow Shift to instantly teleport to the arrow's location.

In this way, he crossed the warning line of the nest in a single move!
